Based upon a true story, Chris Pine gives a wonderful performance of a down-to-earth Coast Guard Petty Officer just trying to do the right thing. I tried to cross the bar once in a 16 foot boat, and the seas were just 6 feet! Decided to call it quits after the first wave, and just motor around the bay. For his character to take on 30+ foot swells: 60+ MPH winds, rain and darkness is incredible. The computer graphics are realistic and the tension palatable. A great tale of peril on the sea!

The strong point of this movie is the massive storm at sea. A small coast guard boat rescues the sinking crew of an oil tanker off Mass. in February 1952. The small coast guard boat get tossed around like a small rubber ball. That is the high point of this movie. The characters and the story line is very shallow. It is the typical good guys coming to the rescue and all works out in the end (this is a Disney movie). If that is enough for you then this movie is fine. But if you want more to the movie than a massive storm and a rescue at the end then you might want to look elsewhere for a movie to watch.

I don't normally care for non-fiction stories, but I vacation in Cape Cod and am familiar with the setting. And, because I knew the ending, I was willing to watch it (unlike Perfect Storm which I will never watch again) - It was one of the most stressful movies I've ever seen, and I will watch it again. Chris Pine and Casey Affleck were both excellent and really drew me into the story almost as much as the special effects - just an incredible production and I can't understand why it was a dud at the box office - I guess if it doesn't have sex and gore, it's not popular with today's viewers. Too bad for them!

As a retired active duty marine of 30 years this movie was so inspiring and inspirational that it has renewed my faith in the military of the United States regardless of the demeaning way the current administration views the military of this great country. Yes, I'm no fan of the current administration and never will be!!!!!!
